The US 500 index

US 500 rate

The US 500 is among our most popular financial instruments. It is based on the performance of the S&P 500 Future index. You can trade it in any direction – up or down – buy or sell - using advanced trading tools and customized leverage.

Background

With iFOREX you have the opportunity to invest in the US 500 CFD which is based on the S&P 500 (Standard & Poor's 500). The S&P 500 is widely regarded as the most accurate indicator for the large-cap American equities.

The S&P 500 index follows the common stocks of 500 large, publicly traded companies that are traded on either the NYSE or NASDAQ. As it primarily focuses on US based companies, some people believe that the S&P 500 provides a distinct indication of where the US economy currently stands and where it may lead to in the future.

Trade Example

Although our CFDs follow the price of the underlying instrument, traders can maximize their trades by using customized leverage.

For example, if you were to invest only $200, your potential purchasing power may be up to 200 times (i.e. $40,000).

If the US 500 is trading at 1,170 points, then the price of one US 500 contract is priced at $1,170 (in this example the spread is not included in the calculations). The use of leverage grants you purchasing power to purchase the contract, or even 34 contracts, for the purpose of this example, whereas with your initial $200 investment you wouldn’t have been able to purchase even one contract.

As such, if you believe that the US 500 is going to rise then it would only be logical to” Buy” it or “To go Long”.

If the price then increases to 1,200 points (+2.56%) the profit on that trade would be calculated as follows:

Open price

$1,170

Close price

$1,200

Difference

$30

Profit on trade ($30 x 34 contracts)

$1,020
